I've never had this happen before so I didn't know. I just thought it was interesting how they're requiring this now though.

More of shock value of them announcing it and requiring an email now.
So more for privacy than security, so it would make sense to use a VPN depending on your threat model I suppose, or how much you care.
For me, it's more about consent, they really just did that, tf?
I'd talk to a counselor about it and explain how it makes you feel uncomfortable.

I have all of their apps on a separate profile. One app I do sadly need data for to check my schedule and look up prices of things.
So if https is all that's needed, why do VPNs recommend using them at public locations? Just false advertising? I click on my bank app and it always wants a password and I guess I don't know enough about network engineering. I'm interested in Android Development but don't know much about WiFi I guess.
Public WiFi would make me skeptical when I always put in my passwords.
I'm just saying do what you think looks good instead of what other people tell you. If you like that rice, don't let someone not liking it change your opinion.
It's a good thing I don't have any socials for them to trace me back to. And since I work there, I'm always looking at shit that will prolly throw them off.
